Maybe it was just because it was their first album of new material since I had become a fan, but Bloodflowers was pretty much MY WHOLE LIFE through the spring semester of my freshman year at college. I was obsessed with listening to it, everywhere and anywhere.

Not to mention that album's tour was probably the best concert tour done by anyone, ever. 3 hours of uncompromising music with nary a single pop hit in sight.

Re: I FUCKING DESPAIR...The Cure 2011

I actually like Wild Mood Swings a lot. Hated it the first time I listened to it, but it grew on me very quickly. Gone!, Strange Attraction, the 13th, Mint Car, Jupiter Crash, Round & Round & Round, This is a Lie, & Want are all good songs. The first four of those are amongst my favorite Cure songs actually.

Treasure has some of the most depressing lyrics ever. WMS is easily the most underrated Cure album ever made.

Re: I FUCKING DESPAIR...The Cure 2011

Yea a lot of the songs on that album are actually fairly depressing for me, disguised by slightly more poppy music than is typical for the Cure. The lyrics to Strange Attraction always used to get me, I related to that song a little too closely.

Re: I FUCKING DESPAIR...The Cure 2011

neither does the scatting/be-bopping. the horns make both of those songs. though i don't think i've ever heard the 13th at all i feel so lucky though that they did most of disintegration in 2004 at the curiosa festival and most of boys don't cry during the 2008 tour.

Re: I FUCKING DESPAIR...The Cure 2011

i wonder if it's a horns thing. when they did close to me at coachella 2004, he said "i don't normally do this" and i wonder if that's partially why (besides the pop-ness of that and lovecats, which he also played).
